Excerpt from Interior Ballistics: A Text Book for the Use of Cadets at the U. S. Naval Academy
In 1884, Sarrau's Researches on the Effects of Powder were trans lated and published in the Proceedings of the U. S. Naval Institute, Vol. X, No. 28, by the authors of this volume, and in that form were used in the Department of Ordnance and Gunnery at the Naval Academy for the instruction of Cadets. The edition having been exhausted, it has been thought proper to reproduce those portions of Sarrau's researches which are necessary for a practical understanding of the work of gunpowder in guns. Numerous examples have been introduced for work in the Section Room, and some extracts from Sarrau's Chargement des Bouches a Feu have been added.
